changing this wont help for a card such as this. Only high end cards fully use the 8x speed
dude you dont know reality. 4x agp is outdated and i have numbers to prove it. on my 9600xt runing at 4x i got a lil over 1200 3mark05 at 8x 2200 3mark05. the 4x will definatly hold you back in newer games. i would look in CCC and see which is grayed out on the speed settings. if its 2x thats greyed out and not 8x then you can ajust it.

it never made a deal of difference with my 9700 pro x 4 or x 8.. at the time it was commonly accepted it didnt.. same as its accepted that with average cards pci-e wont make any difference over agp.. its a bandwidth thing and if the card dont need the extra bandwidth it dosnt benefit from having it..

if your motherboards speed is 4x max you wont be able to put it at 8x.
